Abstract

Unlike optical equipment, SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) has the advantage of obtaining images in all weather, and object detection in SAR images is an important issue. Generally, deep learning-based object detection was mainly performed in real-valued network using only amplitude of SAR image. Since the SAR image is complex data consist of amplitude and phase data, a complex-valued network is required. In this paper, a complex-valued ResNet network is proposed. SAR image object detection was performed by combining the ROI transformer detector specialized for aerial image detection and the proposed complex-valued ResNet. It was confirmed that higher accuracy was obtained in complex-valued network than in existing real-valued network.
